New Vauxhall Meriva

Posted on: 20th Jan 2010

These are the first official pictures of Vauxhall's new Meriva, which is set to turn the conventional concept of family-car usability on its head with a combination of clever, rear-hinged back doors which radically improve access/egress, and a raft of unique cabin features that boost interior versatility.

The new Meriva, which will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March next year, is the first Vauxhall to feature FlexDoors, showcased on last year's Meriva design concept.

FlexDoors are rear-hinged back doors which swing open towards the back of the car at an angle of nearly 90 degrees, vastly improving the ease with which occupants enter and leave the cabin. Rather than having to step back, or to one side, as one would using a normal front-hinged door, the FlexDoor allows unimpeded forward access/egress to and from the cabin, enhanced further by the Meriva's exceptionally high roof line.

KAP in Hove, are no longer Vauxhall Authorised Repairers in Hove & Brighton. This means that they cannot carry out Vauxhall warranty work or recalls, put a Vauxhall stamp in service books, service and repair Vauxhall Motability cars or look after a lot of fleet cars and vans.
